[gull] Re : Demande d'assistance - request for help

[Jean Pierre Rupp]

Hello,

We tried to correctly install Ubuntu Netbook Remix in that machine, and
found problems with the nice looking but slow main menu. It happens that
the menu requires hardware acceleration, but the VIA video chip sucks
for Linux, since there are no drivers for up-to-date Linux
distributions, and the available ones are proprietary.

I recommended to stay put with SUSE 10.1 that comes with the machine,
and then upgrading to Ubuntu when a suitable open source driver with all
the functions becomes available for that video chip.

Cheers, and have a lot of fun.
